Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 are connected by a spring of spring constant k.now forces F1 and F2 start acting on the two blocks in a manner to stretch the spring.Find the max.elongation of the spring.
What I could figure out was to conserve the energy. Energy stored in spring when elongation is x would be 1/2kx^2. Work done by F1 would be F1x and by F2 would be F2x. So,equating them, we would get x=2(F1 + F2)/k.
But I think this is not right. Can you please help ?
Thanks
